About this product
Indomethacin B.P. 100mg Suppository Safa is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to alleviate pain and inflammation. This product contains indomethacin, which works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemical substances that play a crucial role in the inflammatory process. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and menstrual pain. This formulation is particularly suitable for patients who have difficulty taking oral medications or require rapid pain relief.
